Subscribe

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

Error Message: N/A
.
Stack Trace: N/A
.
In about 30-40% of the cases, when the createNewFile method is
called in the File class, the file creation fails. This occurs
only on zOS.

Local fix

N/A

Problem summary

The JVM attempts to create a file that already exists, but the
system call is interrupted because of EINTR or EAGAIN.

Problem conclusion

This defect will be fixed in:
6.0.1 SR2
6.0.0 SR11
7.0.0 SR1
.
The logic has been updated to check whether the open() system
call needs to be called again because of EINTR or EAGAIN
failures in the original call.
